Ariel’s POVI tried calling her after she dropped the call but she wasn’t taking my calls anymore. I realized that I had acted like a complete jerk when I stopped talking to her. It’s not her fault that her man has a lunatic for an ex, it’s not her fault that he died without telling his family that he is now legally married to her.I shouldn’t have acted so stupidly, I’ve been with her for so many years now, I’ve watched her love him from a distance, falling deeply in love with him. I know how much she loved him, I should have stood by her when she is alone, I should have understood her feelings and stood by her, but I didn’t. I betrayed our friendship by giving up on her when she needed me the most, I did not only leave the country, I stopped taking her calls also, pushing her away from me.When she spoke to me on the phone, she had sounded so sad and from the way she spoke, she made it sound like she is going to be in

Nathan’s POVEight months, Two weeks, And two days…That’s how long I’ve been stranded on this island with no chance of escape. It still feels like a dream, I mean, one day, I was living a perfect and enviable life and the next thing I know, I’m stranded on this island, being hunted like an animal.After my near-death experience with those guys, I pleaded with Raymond to teach me how to defend myself, I want to be able to fight them off even when Raymond is not available. He cant come running to save me every time, when things get tough, I want to be able to stand and fight off these guys, I wan’t to hurt them as much as they have hurt me.At first, he refused to train me, he said he was trained to serve the Trent's, not hitting them repeatedly in the name of training. I had to force him to do it, I practically ordered him to do it, threatening him to do it or forget about serving the Trent. I know, I sho

Travis’s POV“I played my part Travis, I did everything you asked. You have no right to push me aside this way, you can’t do this to me. You need me, Travis, you know you do. One word from me and the whole city would be at your doorstep seeking justice for Nathan. I won’t let you get away with this, I won’t let you trick me this way, I’ll fucking kill you?!” Ariel yelled furiously as my boys kicked her out of my house. The slutty bitch!She actually thought that we are now partners, she had the effrontery to walk into my house and demand for Nathans shares in the company, she actually wants me to hand over everything that Nathan had to her, can you believe that, I mean, is she fucking high on drugs or something. What on earth would make her think that I would ever hand over my inheritance to her, I fucking planned it all, me and no one else. Although I’ll have to admit that she had played a big role in convincing his family and the public that he is dead indeed. I watched her carry h

Miguel’s POVI don’t know why I picked Canada, I have never really liked that country, I’ve lived in Canada for a very long time and right now, it saddens me to say that I like anything about Canada anymore. Besides, I can tell that the girls don’t like it here anymore, they hate it as much as I do but they can’t complain because they trust me to protect them and they believe that I must have a good reason for bringing them here. I could see the curiosity in their eyes when I brought them to the warehouse that our family uses for training. They looked at me in shock when they saw the equipment in the warehouse, I had to lie to them that my family has a security company that also specializes in training new recruits for the government or private sectors. They had bought my story and they settled in nicely while I went out to buy supplies and at the same time I got the word out to the elders of the Hartford’s, briefing them on our mission and the situation of things. Just as I expected,

Nathan’s POVTwo weeks,That is how long we have been on the run, trying to make it out of these islands. I thought getting out of the island is the end of my troubles. Turns out I was wrong, our problems have only just begun. We had to struggle so desperately to stay alive. The people in charge of this mission are professionals indeed. They placed some thugs on all the islands nearby. They know I’ll try to escape someday so they had everywhere blocked in an effort to keep me trapped. You would be surprised at the number of thugs that were paid to kill me, you can’t even begin to imagine the kind of weapons these guys were carrying. It’s nothing short of a miracle that we had made it out alive. It’s all thanks to Ray and the little training I got from him while we were still trapped on that unknown island. But I still have a lot to learn from Ray, I still hesitate while pulling the trigger, and I still hold back from killing anyone. I only shoot to incapacitate my enemies, I don’t sho
